Hello, I have a Vintage 1982 Rambo First Blood T shirt . Real or Fake?
I would love if this T shirt was real, but looking at the tag and several other photos it makes me second guess. Please help, Thank you!!

I wish this was actually from 1982, I would BIN! But it's not. Classic case of a lying copyright:

But it's not fake - it's a more modern licensed repro. And it might even actually be vintage or will be soon. I think those tags came out in the early 00s.

The other hint - the original film didn't have Rambo in the title. And I've also never seen one from the 80s without the word "Rambo" on it.
